Rizzle Kicks have returned with their much-teased new single 'Javelin' after a nine-year hiatus

Rizzle Kicks have returned with their first new music as a duo in nine years, releasing new single 'Javelin'.

The track, produced by Swindle and Ant Whiting, is taken from Jordan Stephens and Harley Sulé's forthcoming as-yet-unannounced project.

Speaking about 'Javelin', Rizzle Kicks say: "We wrote Javelin in a family home in a good place and open hearted. It was the first time we worked with Swindle alongside Ant Whiting. Ant was already fam, Swindle is now too.

"Javelin has essentially informed the direction of the album. 'Spearhead' that is. It's a statement of intent. Guaranteed to lift spirits. That's what we're here to do. We feel as though that's our lane. Most of the time."

Nine years ago, Stephens and Sulé stepped away from the music scene, citing mental health reasons. During their time apart, Jordan has written a book titled Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs, while Harley focused on fatherhood and behind-the-scenes songwriting for other artists.
